There are many altered states of mind, your perception of your reality is one of them.

Looking at a gentlemen in a suit standing at the lights, extremely well presented you:
  1. See him as successful and happy with his life.
  2. A very powerful man possibly a manager or supervisor or even a CEO.
  3. You want to be like him.
  4. He must have a nice apartment/house.
  5. The money must be good.
Are any of these things relevant in your live.
  1. Are you happy?
  2. Do you want to be in a power position?
  3. Do you really?
  4. You have enough don't you?
  5. Money? You have food do you not?
Why do you want these things?

Are these things your ego talking or do you truly desire what he has?
  1. Hes been unemployed for six months.
  2. Hes going for a job interview.
  3. He lives with a couple of his mates.
  4. He borrowed the suit form one of his mates.
  5. Hes going for a job a junior assistant. earning less than you.
The power of the mind is very deceiving, you may think you know what you want but are you positve your mind is not playing tricks on you.

Change your thought change your future.
